American Gracie Gold put out a strong and elegant performance earning 58.00 points. Reigning World Junior Champion and three-time Russia’s National Champion Adelina Sotnikova skated her short program well but with a mistake on one of her spins. She scored 56.57 points. It’s worthy to note that all three girls performed triple – triple combinations in their programs.
